Nearly fully saturated, youthful black ruby. Cassis, dark berries, and lots of very low-toned minerally stones in the nose. Rich, large-framed, and mouthfilling. Loads of deep, dark berries, and intense stony minerality. Although weighty, intense, and well-extracted, it's pretty one-dimensional, but it's got good balance and a nice finish. Not worth its $27 price tag, however. B. Got it from Flickinger Wines in Chicago.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
